About The Life (and Death) of Harry Houdini

After a lifetime of death-defying escapes, Harry Houdini is ready to take his final curtain call. A mysterious magician’s assistant prepares the absinthe, the shackles, and a séance. Venture behind the curtain, where a Jewish magician struggles with his faith. Presented as a part of the 2013 Philadelphia International Performing Arts Festival.
